Shopping

The city center of Kuala Lumpur is undoubtedly, the best place for shopping. Huge shopping malls with a large variety of brands, from affordable outlets, to luxurious designer boutiques, are lined up along the city center. Bukit Bintang is the heart of the shopping sphere in Kuala Lumpur. 

Among the sleek and modern malls and boutiques lays a Chinese district, known as Chinatown. You can find absolutely anything in the markets of Chinatown: souvenirs, fruits, and most importantly, the products that attract most tourists to visit Chinatown - quality replicas of designer items and accesories.
